So what lures or bait do you prefer to use in cold water for trout? I like using a slow wobbling spoon like a Little Cleo or Daredevil with a small Mickey Finn as a teaser.

I live right by a TMA but I've never tried it before late March/early April. I've been tempted to go a couple of times lately but I just assumed powerbait or gulp would be the way to go. Wasn't sure if they'd chase a lure with the low water temps.

Bait is really the way to go, but I like the challenge of trying to get them to take a lure. I've had some great days with pin minnows at certain places.

Yeah I was gonna say bait but I think that's probably frowned upon in a TMA. That's why I haven't done it.

I bet one of those trout magnet jigs tipped with a nice fat wax or meal worm would be killer.

The Thomas bouyant is an awesome trout lure year round! I caught a nice brown on one a couple months ago!

I love the buoyant and the rough rider. Those are two of my favorite lures. They just plain ol' catch.

Kastmasters work well.

It does not surprise me if not one trout was featured

Wasn't asking about striped bass wasn't asking about freshwater Bass for pike was asking about trout
